The Last Half of Darkness
Your aunt sure was a strange one. She was some sort of witch or something.
A good witch though, practicing only good spells and magic. In fact, she was
working on a potion just before she was killed. Now the secret will go to
the grave with her... unless you can find the missing ingredients.
You, being her only living heir received news and came quickly to find out
she had plans for you to continue with her work. You gain title to her
estate and her fortune only if you continue with her studies in the field of
magic.

Saving and Loading
To save a game for later use, select the SAVE command from the command list.
Once selected, a prompt will appear asking you for the current drive to

correct drive letter. If the drive is other than a hard disk, be sure to
insert a blank formatted diskette into the drive specified BEFORE entering
your save name.
Exits
The exit map (located below your inventory) is required to see all possible
exits at a given location. The exit map is a top view floorplan of your
